White never projected as a viable starter in the NFL, both for skill limitations and even more so because of durability. He plays with a ferocious motor and inflicts punishment on both tacklers and himself, which is why he had trouble staying healthy at Georgia. He had two ACL tears early in his collegiate career and then missed two games late last season with an ankle injury. When White has a lane to hit, his speed usually gets him through, but unfortunately he didn’t get much chance to prove that as a 2022 fourth-round pick, taking just 17 carries in 14 games last season. If White can’t make it as a rushing specialist in the NFL, he likely won’t make it at all because pass-catching is not part of his game. And as long as workhorse Josh Jacobs is healthy, White doesn’t figure to see many carries.
White was selected in the fourth round of this year’s draft and could be atop the depth chart for the Raiders as soon as next season with both Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake in the final years of their contracts. White ran a surprising 4.40 40 at the combine, and at Georgia he ran with power while primarily taking carries between the tackles and ceding passing-down work to fellow 2022 draft pick James Cook (Buffalo, Round 2). White’s lack of playing time on passing downs may continue in the pros, but the bigger concern is that he’s already undergone ACL surgery on both knees. Regardless, the rookie could find himself one injury away from a starting job if he can win a role this summer as Jacobs’ backup for early downs.
